FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to certain spiropiperidine tryptase inhibitor compounds, methods for preparing compounds, compositions, intermediates and derivatives thereof and methods for treating a tryptase mediated disorder.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Mast cells are a key cellular component of the inflammatory response and when activated, secrete numerous proinflammatory mediators, including histamine, arachidonic acid derivatives, and some serine proteases. Among these mast cell serine proteases are the unique carboxypeptidases, chymase and tryptase (Walls et al. Eur J. Pharmacol. 1997, 328, 89-97). Active tryptase is a structurally unique trypsin-like serine protease which exists as a tetramer that is stabilized by heparin proteoglycans which are stored and secreted with the enzyme (Bode et al. Nature 1998, 392, 306-311). With the exception of neutrophil lactoferrin and possibly secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor, tryptase is generally not affected by endogenous serine protease inhibitors such as α2-macroglobin, α2-proteinase inhibitor, aprotinin, and antithrombin. It is postulated that in vivo tryptase activity may be regulated by the dissociation of the active tryptase tetramer into inactive monomers via the removal of heparin.

Tryptase is secreted exclusively by mast cells and comprises up to 25% of the total protein of the mast cell (Schwartz et al., J. Clin. Invest 1989, 84, 1188-1195). Consequently, mast cell-derived tryptase is secreted in high concentrations at sites of tissue injury. Activated mast cells in atherosclerotic/restenotic plaque have been implicated in plaque rupture and stenosis and are also manifested in inflamed tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. Elevated tryptase levels have been detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (asthma), tears (conjunctivitis), blister fluids (dermatitis), blood (anaphylaxis), cerebrospinal fluid (multiple sclerosis), synovial fluid (rheumatoid arthritis) (Rice et al. Curr. Pharm. Design, 1998, 4, 381-396). Elevated levels of tryptase have also been found in diseased arteries (atherosclerotic, restenotic) relative to normal arteries. Some cigarette smokers have elevated bronchooalveolar lavage fluid tryptase levels relative to nonsmokers, providing support for the hypothesis that mast cell proteases may contribute to lung destruction in smoker's emphysema (Kalenderian et al. Chest 1998, 94, 119-123).

The potent bronchodilating neuropeptides, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and peptide histidine methionine (PHM) are readily cleaved by tryptase in vitro whereas substance P, a potent bronchoconstricting peptide, is not (Drazen et al. J. Clin. Invest 1993, 91, 235-243). Tryptase has demonstrated the ability to generate bradykinin, which is known to induce bronchoconstriction in asthmatics (Zhang et al. Mediators of Inflammation. 1997, 6, 311-317). The ability of tryptase to stimulate inflammatory eosinophils and neutophil chemotaxis in vitro and in vivo is well known (Walls et al. J. Immunol. 1997, 159, 6216-6225). Inhaled tryptase has been shown to cause bronchoconstriction in sheep through the release of histamine (Abraham et al. Amer. J. of Respir. and Crit. Care Med. 1996, 154, 649-654). The ability of tryptase to directly stimulate mast cell degranulation in vitro and in animal models suggests that there may be a tryptase mediated amplification mechanism of the allergic inflammatory response (Walls et al. Eur. J. Pharmacol. 1997, 328, 89-97).

Currently, only trypsin and tryptase are known to activate the protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2), a cell surface G-protein-coupled receptor. The activation of PAR-2 is primarily associated with the induction of mitogenic response indicating that tryptase may have a role in pathological conditions associated with tissue hyperplasia, including the airway hyperplasia found in chronic asthmatics (Stone et al. FEBS Letters 1997, 417, 267-269). Tryptase also has multiple effects on fibroblasts and there is in vitro evidence to suggest that tryptase may involved in the early stages of fibrotic diseases, such as fibrotic lung disease, schieroderma, atherosclerosis, and cardiomyopathic disorders (Marone et al. Circulation 1998, 97, 971-978). Hence, an inhibitor of tryptase could provide a novel therapeutic approach for the prevention and treatment of a variety of inflammatory diseases, such as vascular injury (atherosclerosis, restenosis), arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, dermatitis, urticaria, bullous pemphigoid, psoriasis, schleroderma, fibrosis, conjunctivitis, allergic rhinitis, and particularly asthma.

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in developed countries. A complex disease involving multiple biochemical mediators for both its acute and chronic manifestations, asthma is frequently characterized by the progressive development of hyperresponsiveness of the trachea and bronchi to both immunospecific allergens as well as generalized chemical or physical stimuli. The hyperresponsiveness of asthmatic bronchiolar tissue is postulated to result from chronic inflammation reactions, which irritate and damage the epithelium lining the airway wall and promote pathological thickening of the underlying tissue. Bronchial biopsy studies have indicated that even patients with mild asthma have features of inflammation in the airway wall. Mast cells have long been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, particularly in the acute response immediately after the exposure to allergen (Zhang et al. Mediators of Inflammation 1997, 6, 311-317).

The therapeutic strategy of employing tryptase inhibitors as a treatment for asthma in humans has been recently validated by the selective tryptase inhibitor, APC-366 (Tanaka et al. Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 1995, 152, 2076-2083). A recent Phase IIa study was conducted with 16 mild asthmatics who were dosed with either placebo or a nebulized dry powder formulation of APC-366 (Rice et al. Curr. Pharm. Design, 1998, 4, 381-396). Compared with placebo, the same subjects had a statistically significant improvement for the late airway response (33%; ρ=0.012) and a mean maximum decrease of forced expiratory volume in one second (21%; ρ=0.007) for late airway hyperresponsiveness. These positive results demonstrate that tryptase inhibition is a promising approach for the treatment of asthma in humans.

Currently, the most effective therapy for chronic asthma involves treatment with glucocorticoids (Barnes New Engl. J. Med., 1995, 332, 868-875). However, glucocorticoid administration also generates a litany of local and systemic side-effects. Because of the limitations of glucocorticoids, there is an unmet medical need for improved asthma therapy. In contrast to drugs, such as steroids, that elicit multiple actions, tryptase inhibitors may elicit fewer side-effects through the selective inhibition of a specific inflammatory mediator (tryptase) that is exclusive to mast cells. Hence, tryptase inhibitors may offer similar efficacy in the treatment of asthma as the glucocorticoids without the same undesirable systemic side-effects.

Compound Forms

The term “about,” whether used explicitly or not in reference to a quantitative expression given herein, means that every quantity given herein qualified with the term or otherwise is meant to refer both to the actual given value and the approximation to such given value that would reasonably be inferred based on the ordinary skill in the art, including approximations due to experimental and/or measurement conditions for such given value.

The term “form” means, in reference to compounds of the present invention, such may exist as, without limitation, a salt, stereoisomer, tautomer, crystalline, polymorph, amorphous, solvate, hydrate, ester, prodrug or metabolite form. The present invention encompasses all such compound forms and mixtures thereof.

The term “isolated form” means, in reference to compounds of the present invention, such may exist in an essentially pure state such as, without limitation, an enantiomer, a racemic mixture, a geometric isomer (such as a cis or trans stereoisomer), a mixture of geometric isomers, and the like. The present invention encompasses all such compound forms and mixtures thereof.

The compounds of the present invention may also be present in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. For use in medicine, the salts of the compounds of this invention refer to non-toxic “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” (Ref International J. Pharm., 1986, 33, 201-217; J. Pharm. Sci., 1997 (January), 66, 1, 1). Other salts well known to those in the art may, however, be useful in the preparation of compounds according to this invention or of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Representative organic or inorganic acids include, but are not limited to, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydriodic, perchloric, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric, acetic, propionic, glycolic, lactic, succinic, maleic, fumaric, malic, tartaric, citric, benzoic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, hydroxyethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, oxalic, pamoic, 2-naphthalenesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, cyclohexanesulfamic, salicylic, saccharinic or trifluoroacetic acid. Representative organic or inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, basic or cationic salts such as benzathine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine, procaine, aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc.

The present invention includes within its scope prodrugs of the compounds of this invention. In general, such prodrugs will be functional derivatives of the compounds that are readily convertible in vivo into the required compound. Thus, in the methods of treatment of the present invention, the term “administering” shall encompass the treatment of the various disorders described with the compound specifically disclosed or with a compound which may not be specifically disclosed, but which converts to the specified compound in vivo after administration to the patient. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in “Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.

Where the compounds according to this invention have at least one chiral center, they may accordingly exist as enantiomers. Where the compounds possess two or more chiral centers, they may additionally exist as diastereomers. It is to be understood that all such isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, some of the crystalline forms for the compounds may exist as polymorphs and as such are intended to be included in the present invention. In addition, some of the compounds may form solvates with water (i.e., hydrates) or common organic solvents, and such solvates are also intended to be encompassed within the scope of this invention.

Where the processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention give rise to mixture of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form, or individual enantiomers may be prepared either by enantiospecific synthesis or by resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their component enantiomers by standard techniques, such as the formation of diastereomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically active acid, such as (−)-di-p-toluoyl-d-tartaric acid and/or (+)-di-p-toluoyl-l-tartaric acid followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. The compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary. Alternatively, the compounds may be resolved using a chiral HPLC column.

During any of the processes for preparation of the compounds of the present invention, it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J. F. W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973; and T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art.

Therapeutic Use

The compounds of Formula (I) are useful for treating inflammatory disorders such as immunomediated inflammatory disorders and mast cell mediated inflammatory disorders. Examples of immunomediated inflammatory disorders for which the compounds of the present invention are useful include, but are not limited to, asthma, allergic rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, arthritic conditions in general (i.e., arthritis), peptic ulcers, ocular and vernal conjunctivitis, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”; see Grashoff, W. F. et al., American Journal of Pathology, 151(6):1785-90, December 1997), Crohn's disease, urticaria, bullous pemphiguoid, schleroderma, fibrosis, dermatitis, psoriasis, angioedema, eczematous dermatitis, anaphylaxis, hyperproliferative skin disease, inflammatory skin conditions, hepatic cirrhosis, glomerulonephritis, nephritis, vascular inflammation, atherosclerosis or restenosis.

The compounds of Formula (I) have also been shown to be effective in causing skin depigmentation and therefore may be useful in the treatment and/or prevention of skin hyperpigmentation.

The compounds of Formula (I) also function as inhibitors of thrombin and factor Xa. Consequently, they may be useful for the treatment of thrombin and/or factor Xa mediated disorders, such as thrombosis.

Therapeutic agents that may be useful for administration in combination with compounds of Formula (I) include β-adrenergic agonists (e.g. albuterol, terbutaline, formoterol, fenoterol, prenaline and the like) methylxanthines (e.g. caffeine, theophylline, aminophylline, theobromine, and the like) and corticosteroids (e.g. beclomethasome, triamcinolone, flurisolide, dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, prednisone and the like). In general, one of ordinary skill in the art, acting in reliance upon personal knowledge and the disclosure of this application, will be able to ascertain the amounts of these respective therapeutic agents and the amount of the compound of Formula (I) which should be administered to a subject to treat a given immunomediated inflammatory disease.

The present invention is directed to a method for treating a tryptase mediated inflammatory, vascular or dermatological condition in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I).

The tryptase mediated inflammatory, vascular or dermatological condition is selected from, but not limited to, inflammatory diseases associated with the respiratory tract, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, as well as other immunomediated inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, peptic ulcers, ocular and vernal conjunctivitis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, urticaria, bullous pemphiguoid, schleroderma, fibrosis, dermatitis, psoriasis, pruritis, angioedema, eczematous dermatitis, anaphylaxis, hyperproliferative skin disease, inflammatory skin conditions, hepatic cirrhosis, glomerulonephritis, nephritis, vascular inflammation, atherosclerosis or restenosis.

The tryptase mediated inflammatory, vascular or dermatological condition is further selected from asthma, allergic rhinitis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease or pruritis.

The present invention includes the use of any of the compounds of Formula (I) for the preparation of a medicament for treating a tryptase mediated inflammatory, vascular or dermatological condition in a subject in need thereof.

The term “administering” with respect to the methods of the present invention, refers to a means for treating, ameliorating or preventing a disease as described herein with a compound specifically disclosed or a compound or prodrug thereof, which would obviously be included within the scope of the invention albeit not specifically disclosed for certain of the instant compounds.

Such methods include administering an effective amount of one or more compounds of Formula (I) or a form, composition or medicament thereof at different times during the course of a therapy or concurrently in a combination form. Such methods further include administering an effective amount of one or more compounds of Formula (I) or a form, composition or medicament thereof with one or more agents at different times during the course of a therapy or concurrently in a combination form.

The term “prodrug” refers to a metabolic precursor of a compound of Formula (I) or a form thereof. In general, a prodrug is a functional derivative of a compound which may be inactive when administered to a patient but is readily convertible in vivo into an active metabolite compound.

The term “active metabolite” refers to a metabolic product of a compound that is effective for ameliorating, treating or preventing a thrombin mediated disease, disorder or condition. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in “Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.

The term “patient” as used herein, refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human, who has been the object of treatment, observation or experiment and is at risk of (or susceptible to) developing a disease or having a disease related to unregulated kinase activity.

The term “effective amount” refers to that amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response (such as inhibiting unregulated kinase activity) in a patient's tissue system, animal or human, that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor, or other clinician.

The effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) exemplified in such a method is from about 0.001 mg/kg/day to about 300 mg/kg/day.

The term “composition” refers to a product containing one or more compounds of Formula (I) or a form thereof (such as a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from such combinations of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts).

The term “medicament” refers to one or more compounds of Formula (I) or a form thereof used in manufacturing a product for use in ameliorating, treating or preventing a thrombin mediated disease, disorder or condition.

A formulation of a composition or medicament of the present invention is “pharmaceutically acceptable” when the molecular entities and components used therein are of sufficient purity and quality such that, when appropriately administered to an animal or a human, the formulation does not produce an adverse, allergic or other untoward reaction. Since both human use (clinical and over-the-counter) and veterinary use are equally included within the scope of the present invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation would include a composition or medicament for either human or veterinary use.

Even though the compounds of the present invention (including their pharmaceutically, acceptable salts and pharmaceutically acceptable solvates) can be administered alone, they will generally be administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier, excipient or diluent selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical or veterinary practice. Thus, the present invention is directed to pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or diluents.

By way of example, in the pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions of the present invention, the compounds of the present invention may be admixed with any suitable binder(s), lubricant(s), suspending agent(s), coating agent(s), and/or solubilising agent(s).

Tablets or capsules of the compounds may be administered singly or two or more at a time, as appropriate. It is also possible to administer the compounds in sustained release formulations.

For some applications, the compositions are administered orally in the form of tablets containing excipients such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules either alone or in admixture with excipients, or in the form of elixirs, solutions or suspensions containing flavoring or coloring agents.

The compositions (as well as the compounds alone) can also be injected parenterally, for example intracavernosally, intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. In this case, the compositions will comprise a suitable carrier or diluent.

For parenteral administration, the compositions are best used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other substances, for example enough salts or monosaccharides to make the solution isotonic with blood.

For buccal or sublingual administration the compositions may be administered in the form of tablets or lozenges which can be formulated in a conventional manner.

Alternatively, the compounds of the general Formula (I) can be administered by inhalation or in the form of a suppository or pessary, or they may be applied topically in the form of a lotion, solution, cream, ointment or dusting powder. An alternative means of transdermal administration is by use of a skin patch. For example, they can be incorporated into a cream consisting of an aqueous emulsion of polyethylene glycols or liquid paraffin. They can also be incorporated, at a concentration of between 1 and 10% by weight, into an ointment consisting of a white wax or white soft paraffin base together with such stabilizers and preservatives as may be required.

By way of further example, pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions containing one or more of the compounds of the invention described herein as the active ingredient can be prepared by intimately mixing the compound or compounds with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending upon the desired route of administration (e.g., oral, parenteral). Thus for liquid oral preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions, suitable carriers and additives include water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, stabilizers, coloring agents and the like; for solid oral preparations, such as powders, capsules and tablets, suitable carriers and additives include starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like. Solid oral preparations may also be coated with substances such as sugars or be enteric-coated so as to modulate the major site of absorption. For parenteral administration, the carrier will usually consist of sterile water and other ingredients may be added to increase solubility or preservation. Injectable suspensions or solutions may also be prepared utilizing aqueous carriers along with appropriate additives.

Advantageously, compounds of the present invention may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of two, three or four times daily. Furthermore, compounds for the present invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal skin patches well known to those skilled in that art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen.

It is also apparent to one skilled in the art that the therapeutically effective dose for active compounds of the invention or a pharmaceutical composition thereof will vary according to the desired effect. Therefore, optimal dosages to be administered may be readily determined and will vary with the particular compound used, the mode of administration, the strength of the preparation, and the advancement of the disease condition. In addition, factors associated with the particular subject being treated, including subject age, weight, diet and time of administration, will result in the need to adjust the dose to an appropriate therapeutic level. The above dosages are thus exemplary of the average case. There can, of course, be individual instances where higher or lower dosage ranges are merited, and such are within the scope of this invention.

Compounds of this invention may be administered in any of the foregoing compositions and dosage regimens or by means of those compositions and dosage regimens established in the art whenever use of the compounds of the invention as tryptase inhibitors is required for a subject in need thereof.

The invention also provides a pharmaceutical or veterinary pack or kit comprising one or more containers filled with one or more of the ingredients of the pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions of the invention. Optionally associated with such container(s) can be a notice in the form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of pharmaceuticals or biological products, which notice reflects approval by the agency of manufacture, use or sale for human administration.

Optimal dosages of the compounds of Formula (I) to be administered for treating a tryptase mediated inflammatory, vascular or dermatological condition may be readily determined by those skilled in the art, and will vary with the particular compound used, the strength of the preparation, the mode of administration, and the advancement of the condition. In addition, factors associated with the particular patient being treated, including patient age, weight, diet and time of administration, will result in the need to adjust dosages.

Scheme A describes the solution-phase synthesis of certain 5-aminomethyl-spiro[benzofuran-3(2H), 4′-piperidine] derivatives A9 of Formula (I).

Scheme A

Treatment of methyl phenyl sulfoxide with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in THF at about −75° C. followed by reaction with 1-Boc-4-piperidone A1 at about 21° C. affords sulfoxide A2. Reaction of A2 with potassium tert-butoxide in refluxing tert-butanol generates allyl alcohol A3 via a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement (WO94/29309). Compound A3 is subsequently reacted with thionyl chloride at about 60° C. for about 25 min to provide allyl chloride A4.

Reaction of compound A4 with 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile in the presence of potassium carbonate in acetone furnishes ether A5. Radical-induced cyclization of A5 with tributyltin hydride in the presence of AlBN and PhMe at about 80° C. affords spiro[benzofuran-3(2H), 4′-piperidine A6 (Chen, M.-H.; Abraham, J. A. Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 30, 5233-5234).

Hydrogenation of the nitrile group of A6 in the presence of Raney Nickel (AT about 60 psig H₂) and aqueous 3N sodium hydroxide in EtOH affords benzylamine A7.

Reaction of A7 with a reagent such as phthalic anhydride (Pht) in toluene (PhMe) or N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), 9-fluorenyl-methylcarbonyl chloride (Fmoc-Cl) in DIPEA, 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl-4-nitrophenyl carbonate (Teoc) in DIPEA followed by removal of the Boc protecting group via HCl or TFA gives A8 as the corresponding salt (where PG represents a protecting group such as Pht, Fmoc or Teoc).

Coupling of A8 in the presence of a base with either carboxylic acids and a coupling agent (such as BOP-Cl) in a mixture with DIPEA and CH₂Cl₂ or with acid chlorides and sulfonyl chlorides in a mixture with TEA and THF at about 0° C. then deprotection with methylhydrazine in EtOH at about 40° C. or with piperidine/DMF or with TFA/CH₂Cl₂ affords the substituted 5-aminomethyl-spiro[benzofuran-3(2H), 4′-piperidine] A9 of Formula (I).

Scheme B describes the solid-phase synthesis of certain 5-aminomethyl-spiro[benzofuran-3(2H), 4′-piperidine] derivatives A9 of Formula (I) as a TFA salt.

Scheme B

Removal of the Boc protecting group from A6 with TFA:CH₂Cl₂ followed by reaction of the resulting piperidine with Teoc provides Teoc-protected intermediate B1 (WO/200190101). Hydrogenation of the nitrile moiety in the presence of hydrochloric acid in ethanol affords benzylamine B2 as the hydrochloride salt.

Reaction of B2 with p-nitrophenyl carbonate Wang resin in the presence of DIPEA and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) in DMF followed by deprotection with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF provides the resin-bound intermediate B3. Coupling of B3 with a carboxylic acid (wherein the —C(O)R portion is incorporated into R₃ as a product of the reaction) with N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DIC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (HOBt) followed by cleavage from the resin with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) furnishes the 5-aminomethyl-spiro[benzofuran-3(2H), 4′-piperidine] A1 as the TFA salt of Formula (I), wherein R₃ is carbonyl.

Scheme C describes the synthesis of certain 5-aminomethyl-spiro[benzo[b]thiophene-3(2H), 4′-piperidine] derivatives C6 of Formula (I).

Scheme C

Alkylation of 2-bromotihiophenol with A4 in the presence of potassium carbonate in acetone at about 65° C. provides thioether C1. Radical-induced cyclization of C1 with tributyltin hydride in the presence of AlBN in toluene at about 80° C. affords spiro[benzo[b]thiophene-3(2H), 4′-piperidine C2 (Chen, M.-H.; Abraham, J. A. Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 30, 5233-5234).

Removal of the Boc-protecting group from C2 with TFA:CH₂Cl₂ (1:4) followed by partitioning between 0.1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide and diethyl ether affords the freebase C3. Coupling of C3 with either a carboxylic acid and a coupling agent (such as BOP-Cl) in a mixture with DIPEA and CH₂Cl₂ or with a carboxylic acid chloride or a sulfonyl chloride in a mixture with TEA and CH₂Cl₂ at about 0° C. furnishes the corresponding amide C4.

Tscherniac-Einhorn amidomethylation reaction of C4 with N-(hydroxymethyl)phthalimide in either neat trifilic acid at room temperature or a mixture of sulfuric and glacial acetic acids at about 60° C. provides C6. Removal of the phthalyl protecting group with methylhydrazine in ethanol at about 40° C. yields 5-aminomethyl-spiro[benzo[b]-thiophene-3(2H), 4′-piperidine] derivatives C6 of Formula (I).

Scheme D describes the synthesis of certain 5-aminomethyl-spiro[indoline-3,4′-piperidines] derivatives D8 of Formula (I).

Scheme D

Spiropiperidine D1 can be prepared according to the published method (Ong H H, Profift J A, Fortunato J, Glamkowski E J, Ellis D B, Geyer H M, Wilker J C, and Burghard H J, Med. Chem., 1983, 26 (7), 981-986). Reacting D1 with formic acid in refluxing toluene provides formamide D2. A Tscherniac-Einhorn amidomethylation reaction of D2 with N-(hydroxymethyl)phthalimide in neat sulfuric acid at room furnishes D3.

Demethylation of D3 with α-chloroethyl chloroformate in the presence of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene in refluxing dichloroethane affords carbamate D4, which converts to piperidine D5 with hydrochloric acid in refluxing methanol (Olofson, R. A.; Martz, J. T.; Senet, J. P.; Piteau, M.; Malfroot, T. J. Org. Chem. 1984, 49(11), 2081-2082).

Example 2 1-[(5-phenylthio)-furan-2-yl]carbonyl-5′-aminomethyl-spiro[piperidine-4,3′-benzo[b]furan] (Cpd 23)

Step A. 1-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]carbonyl-5′-cyano-spiro[piperidine-4,3′-benzo[b]furan]

Compound 1f, (4.79 g, 15.2 mmol; Example 1) was combined with trifluoroacetic acid (20 mL) in dry dichloromethane (50 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in acetonitrile (70 ml) and treated with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (1.9 g, 15.2 mmol), triethylamine (6.2 g, 60.8 mmol) and 4-nitrophenyl-2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl carbonate (4.3 g, 15.2 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane (50 mL) and 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid (50 mL). The organic phase was separated and washed twice with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid (50 mL) then with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (50 mL). The resulting suspension was and filtered through filter agent and the organic phase was separated and extracted sequentially with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (2×50 mL), water (50 mL), brine (50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give a thick pale yellow syrup. This syrup was recrystallized from dichloromethane/hexane to give 3.84 g (70%) of 2a as a pale yellow solid.

Step B. 1-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]carbonyl-5′-aminomethyl-spiro[piperidine-4,3′-benzo[b]furan]

Compound 2a (3.84 g, 10.7 mmol) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (82 mL), water (2.6 mL), concentrated hydrochloric acid (1 mL) and combined with 10% palladium on carbon (2.67 g) in a Parr reaction vessel and shaken with 55 psi of hydrogen at room temperature for 16 hours. The slurry was filtered through filter agent and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to give 4.7 g (100%) of 2b as an off-white solid.

Step C. N-[(spiro[piperidine-4,3′-benzo[b]furan])-5′-methyl]carbamate Wang Resin

To a slurry of 4-nitrophenyl carbonate Wang resin (7.4 g, 1.3 mmol/g, 9.7 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (82 mL) was added 2b (4.7 g, 10.7 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (29 mL), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.19 g, 24.9 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (424 mg, 3.5 mmol). The slurry was stirred overnight at room temperature under an argon atmosphere. After 16 hours, the resin was washed sequentially with N,N-dimethylformamide, methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, methanol, dichloromethane, methanol, dichloromethane, methanol and tetrahydrofuran. The resin was added to tetrahydrofuran (62 mL) and treated with 1M tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (45 mL). After 16 hours, the resin was washed sequentially with tetrahydrofuran, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, dichloromethane, methanol, dichloromethane, methanol and dried on high vacuum to give Wang resin-bound compound 2c.

Step D. 5-phenylsulfanyl-furan-2-carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester

To a solution of methyl 5-bromo-2-furoate (2.05 g, 10.0 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was added benzenethiol sodium salt (1.58 g, 12 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 75° C. for 3 hours, then cooled and diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and water (20 mL). The organic layer was separated, extracted with water (3×20 mL), brine (20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to an amber syrup. This syrup was purified via column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (7:3) to give 520 mg (22%) of 2d as a colorless liquid.

Step E. 5-phenylsulfanyl-furan-2-carboxylic Acid

To a slurry of 2d (520 mg, 2.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL), ethanol (2 mL), and water (2 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (98 mg, 2.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred 16 hours at room temperature and then diluted with ethyl acetate (5 mL) and water (5 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 2e as a white solid (466 mg, 95%).

Step F. 1-[(5-phenylthio)-furan-2-yl]carbonyl-5′-aminomethyl-spiro[piperidine-4,3′-benzo[b]furan] (Cpd 23)

Resin-bound compound 2c (585 mg, 0.45 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was combined with 2e (466 mg, 2.1 mmol), 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide (265 mg, 2.1 mmol), and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (284 mg, 2.1 mmol), and the mixture was shaken at room temperature for 16 hours. The resin was isolated by filtration and extracted sequentially with N,N-dimethylformamide, methanol, N,N-dimethyl-formamide, methanol, dichloromethane, methanol, dichloromethane, methanol and dichloromethane. The resulting resin was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL) in dichloromethane (20 mL), shaken for 15 minutes, extracted with dichloromethane (20 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified on a C18 reverse-phase column, eluting with water/acetonitrile (7:3) in the presence of 0.2% trifluoroacetic acid to give white powdered compound 23 (63 mg, 25%) as a trifluoroacetic acid salt: H¹ NMR (CD₃OD) δ 7.31-7.24 (m, 7H), 7.08 (d, J=3.4 Hz, 1H), 6.84 (d, J=3.4 Hz, 1H), 6.81 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 4.53 (s, 2H), 4.48-2.28 (br m, 2H), 4.03 (s, 2H), 3.32-3.08 (br m, 2H), 2.03-1.79 (m, 4H); MS (ESI) m/z 420.8 (MH)⁺ for C₂₄H₂₄N₂O₃S.

The in vivo efficacy of Compound 3 was evaluated in antigen-induced allergic sheep, which is a well-characterized asthma model (Abraham, W. M. Pulmonary Pharmacol. 1989, 2, 33-40). Compound 3 was administered via oral gavage to two sheep previously shown to be allergic responders to inhaled Ascaris suum antigen (FIG. 1). The compound was given at a dose of 30 mg/kg, BID, on day 1, and again on day 2 at 2 h prior to antigen challenge and then 4 h after antigen challenge. Airway resistance (SR_(L)) was monitored for 8 h post antigen challenge and airway hyper-reactivity to carbachol (PC₄₀₀) was measured 24 h post antigen challenge. The changes in specific airway resistance (SRL) during the early phase (EP) is shown in FIG. 1. The late phase (LP) responses and airway hyperreactivity in response to antigen challenge is shown in FIG. 2. The results demonstrate that Compound 3 completely blocked the late response (LP; 4-8 h post antigen) and the increase in airway hyper-reactivity at 24 h, but did not effect a change in acute early phase response (EP; 0-4 h) post antigen.

Guinea Pig Efficacy Model.

The in vivo efficacy of Compound 3 was evaluated in a guinea pig model of allergic asthma. In this model, guinea pigs were sensitized and challenged with chicken egg ovalbumin (OVA) according to the protocol of N. Smith and F. J. Johnson (Clin. Exp. Allergy 2005, 35, 522-530), with some slight modifications. Guinea pigs were sensitized with 80 mg of OVA and 80 mg of aluminum hydroxide administered intraperitoneally on day 0, then challenged with 0.03% OVA aerosol for 10 minutes on day 14. In the experiment measuring early phase pulmonary response (EAR), guinea pigs were challenged for an additional three minutes with 0.06% OVA aerosol. EAR was measured as enhanced pause (PenH) using BUXCO whole body plethysmography for 10 minutes immediately following the OVA aerosol challenge. The animals were then euthanized and assessed for bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) immune cell counts 24 hours after aerosol challenge on day 15. Either Compound 3 in doses of 3, 10, and/or 30 mg/kg or vehicle were administered subcutaneously, 1-2 hours before and 4-6 hours after OVA aerosol challenge.
